Stop Those Bad Taxes, Steve!

Stephen Harper is excoriated in the Globe and Mail by Jeffrey Simpson today for his stated belief that all taxation is bad. I know that Steve’s hands are tied by the minority parliament, those darned ol’ opposition parties are making it difficult to get rid of those bad, bad taxes, but maybe Steve can make some incremental improvements en route to turning us into a tax-free utopia, like Somalia. Steve you are in a good position to start with your salary, my taxes pay that! Stop being bad by using my taxes to pay yourself! If all taxes are bad, surely they include those paying you. Tax-fighting starts at home, even if the home in question is 24 Sussex Drive. Speaking of which, how much bad tax money is paying for that place? What about your pension? Oooh all those bad taxes Steve, you can do something about them!
